Also referenced to its first, the, given that both this car and the 86 share a layout, as widely used by project partner and 86 manufacturer, Subaru. Pre-launch concept cars [ ] Initial layout and design elements for the 86 were presented by Toyota using its 'FT' (Future Toyota) nomenclature. The first was the, which was presented at the in 2007. It had a front engine, rear-wheel drive layout and and was powered by a with assistance. In 2008, Toyota bought 16.5% of, which includes the Subaru automotive brand. ![]() Toyota, led by project leader Tetsuya Tada, then offered Subaru to become involved in its new sport coupé project, by co-developing the new D-4S, however, this was rejected since the design conflicted with Subaru's reputation for high performance (AWD) cars. This outcome resulted in the project coming to a six-month halt before Toyota invited journalists and Subaru engineers to test a developmental prototype. Following this test, Subaru agreed to become further involved in development. Toyota FT-86 Concept (2009) The new collaboration thus produced a new concept car, the FT-86, which was revealed at the in October 2009. Smaller than the FT-HS, the design of the FT-86 was further refined by Toyota's while the hybrid V6 powerplant was replaced by the new D-4S boxer. ![]() Subaru provided the chassis and gearbox, adapting those of their. The concept was painted in Shoujyouhi Red, which was reported as being based on the backside of a. At the, Toyota then launched its line of aftermarket accessories, along with the concept car. It featured G Sports carbon fibre panels, a vented, rear wing, 19 in (48 cm) wheels, race seats, and an interior rollcage. The D-4S engine also added a. In 2011, Toyota and Subaru unveiled five near-production concept cars to show their progress with the project. The first, known as the FT-86 II Concept, was unveiled at the in March 2011. ED 2 refined the design of the initial FT-86, by developing new front and rear fascias, and marginally increasing the dimensions of the concept. At the same show, Subaru also unveiled a transparent silhouette of the car that showed off the new D-4S boxer engine and displayed the 'Boxer Sports Car Architecture'. Scion followed next in April 2011 at the with the FR-S Sports Coupé Concept, co-developed with aftermarket tuner Five Axis. Another semi-transparent Subaru concept, known as the BRZ Prologue, was shown at the that September, followed in November at the by the BRZ Concept STi, the first full mock-up of Subaru's version of the 86 with input from (STI). The GT86 stand at the 2012 Geneva Motorshow, with one of the vehicles that inspired its styling, the 2000GT The first production Toyota 86 debuted at the 2011. All variants are built at 's Gunma Main Plant, with the first cars assembled on 2 February before sales began in March and deliveries in April. 7,000 orders were placed for the Toyota 86 in the first month of production, while Subaru took in 3,500 orders. In the United States, Scion were allocated 10,000 units of the 2013 (MY13) production, while Subaru was limited to only 6,000 units. Engineering [ ] The 86's engine, known by the Toyota code and Subaru code, is a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that uses Subaru's horizontally opposed boxer engine design, with the addition of Toyota's D-4S injection system, which uses both direct and port. Given its placement, the 86 can be considered having a drivetrain layout. The engine runs on 98 RON (premium unleaded) fuel and features a 12.5:1 compression ratio and a bore and stroke of 86 mm (3.4 in) that results in 200 horsepower (149 kW; 203 PS) at 7,000 rpm and 151 lbft (205 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm. As part of the 86's low-weight design, the car utilizes an hood, a solid roof, and a trunk as opposed to a. The boxer engine sits as far back and as low as possible in the engine bay for a weight distribution of 53% in front and 47% in the rear. The low-sitting engine provides a lower center of gravity, allowing the engine to sit lower than the and just 0.6 inches higher than the. The 86, BRZ and FR-S are offered with two 6-speed transmissions, an in-house developed Toyota TL70 manual gearbox (based on AI's AZ6 ) and an Aisin-Warner automatic transmission, which is modified from that used on the. The latter uses a traditional wet torque converter design, but its software has been engineered to mimic the response of a dual-clutch gearbox. The automatic transmission uses three different modes: Sport, Snow, and Normal. A torque sensing is standard on most models. The vehicles are offered with 16' steel and alloy wheels shod with dB Decibel E70 tyres in 205/55 size or 17' alloy wheels shod with Primacy HP tyres in 215/45 size, depending on sales market. The limited editions (TRD) GT86 models are instead offered with 18' forged aluminium wheels, which are shod with either Advan Sport tyres Pilot Sport 3 tyres in 225/40 size, also depending on market. All non-TRD cars feature ventilated front disc brakes and solid rear disc brakes on base models or, on higher models, also ventilated rear disc brakes with two piston-opposed calipers in the front and single caliper design in the rear. The TRD editions instead have an upgraded braking system comprising upsized TRD two-piece rotors and TRD six-pot 355mm front and four-pot 345mm rear calipers (compared to the GTS' 294mm and 290mm calipers and GT's 277mmm and 286mm, respectively). Suspension design comprises front struts and at the rear. In 2016, for the 2017 model year, the 86 was upgraded to 153 kW (205 hp) and 212 Nm (156 lbft). The final drive ratio was also updated from 4.1 to 4.3. Design [ ] The 86 was designed around a front-mounted, rear-wheel drive configuration, inspired by the. The flat architecture of the boxer engine allows it to be mounted low, dropping the center of gravity down, resulting in sporty handling characteristics. The exterior design of the 86 delivers a slippery drag coefficient of =0.27 and was inspired by the 's low-to-the-ground profile and long, sleek hood. Its design cues translate onto the 86 in such areas as: upward trailing edge of the doors; the upward finish to the side-window line; the front and rear haunches; the circular taillights set in silver (singular instead of double as on the 2000GT). The '86' boxer and drifting side badge on Toyota and Scion models According to the 86's designers, 'The goal was to create an authentic rear-wheel drive sports car with compelling style, exceptionally balanced performance and handling, flexible utility and surprising MPG.' When asked about the version of the car, the lead engineer Mr. Tada said 'There is definitely going to be a more TRD oriented variant down the line. ![]() However any of the parts that would be standard on the TRD model will fit on your current Toyota 86 so there is no need to wait.' The 86 'boxer' side badge appears on all Toyota and Scion versions of the car, but not the Subaru BRZ. Aside from badging, the main differences between the 86/GT86 and the BRZ are the front grilles and bumper bars. The rest, including the 17 inch alloy wheels, are shared. The optional upgraded interior of a North American Subaru BRZ, equipped with leather and Alcantara seats, push-button start, and automatic climate control The interior features a seating configuration, which utilizes low mounted front seats. The rear seats fold down enabling increased storage space for larger items. Three interior variations exist, the FR-S and base 86 models have cloth seats with all black interior trim that features a black patterned dash trim, while the shift boot features red stitching. The BRZ has two available interiors, one identical to the FR-S but with silver dash trim, a red stitched parking brake boot, black gauge faces (instead of the white tachometer of the 86 GTS models) and a touch-screen navigation head unit; the second option upgrades to leather and Alcantara heated seats, automatic HVAC controls, and a push-button start. The top-of-the-range 86 models are fitted like the BRZ except as noted above, and the Japanese interior can be had in black/red leather and Alcantara or full black leather and Alcantara (Australia being offered only the latter). We drive the 2017 Toyota 86, formerly the Scion FR-S, and find that the rear-wheel-drive sports car is a blast to drive but is also still underpowered. Apr 24, 2017. Toyota's 86 wasn't a glitch in the matrix, it punched a hole in the fabric of space and time. Okay, it wasn't quite that big, but for Toyota, out of almost nowhere, to produce a new sports car that wasn't a front-driver with a cool body but not much substance was. Well, amazing. Since the GFC, we'd only seen a. The Toyota 86 is a series of 2+2 seater sports cars which was jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru and solely manufactured by Subaru. It features a boxer engine, front engine, rear wheel drive drivetrain, 2+2 seating and a fastback coupé body style. Subaru retails their version of the car as the Subaru BRZ.

In the United Kingdom, the Japanese G model is sold as the GT86 Primo and the car has also been available as a limited edition Toyota Racing Development 'TRD GT86', which features: 18 inch forged aluminium wheels with Advan Sport tyres; full bodykit with front and side skirts, rear and new diffuser; quad-exhaust system; TRD-branded detailing on the filler cap, radiator cap and gear knob. In New Zealand, the TRD 86 is sold with the above features except for Pilot Sport 3 tyres instead plus upgraded TRD braking system. Options not available to all markets include a Bose sound system upgrade. Toyota 86 GT (Australia) In Australia, the GT is the equivalent of the Japanese G model but with only an all black interior trim and standard radio head unit, whereas the top-of-the-range GTS model is the equivalent of the Japanese GT Limited except for an all black leather/Alcantara and red-stitch interior trim only and touchscreen multimedia head unit. Upon Australian launch in June 2012, all models for Australia featured a full-size spare wheel, the GTS lacked a rear, and a or LSD was standard on all models except automatic GT's. The full-size spare wheel was phased out after the first shipments to Australia, replaced with a repair kit. This model also benefitted from a remapping of its Electronic Control Unit () to address initial reports of rough idling and stalling. The range of models and main options had the following retail prices: GT manual A$29,990; GT automatic A$32,490; GTS manual A$35,490; GTS automatic A$37,990; metallic paint A$425 for all models; 'Aero pack' bodykit A$3,000 for GTS only. As of the August 2013 production update (which carried the formal year designation MY14), the automatic GT also gained LSD as standard (but with a price increase of A$300; manual price unchanged in Australia) and the GTS gained the same rear fitted to the Japanese GTS Limited and the Subaru BRZ (with a price increase of A$500 for both the manual and automatic model in Australia). Other distinguishing features on the MY14 models include the removal of the lettered 'TOYOTA' badge from the rear bonnet of the GTS and optional availability of rear parking sonar sensors on GT and GTS.

The key highlights include: revised suspension settings; 'shark-fin' roof antenna; GTS instrument cluster on GT; carbon-fibre look dash insert and reverse-view camera on GTS; new white and silver exterior paints. The price of the GT remained unchanged while the GTS was the subject of a price increase of A$500 and A$800 for the manual and automatic version, respectively. In late 2014, as part of its MY15 range, Toyota offered in the UK two new models: the GT86 Aero, featuring a full bodykit and 18 inch OZ Ultraleggera alloy wheels in anthracite grey finish; and the GT86 'Giallo' (meaning yellow in Italian), limited to only 86 units. Similar to the latter, Toyota also offered in Italy a total of 50 'Limited Edition' models. Externally, the key distinguishing feature of these limited editions is the new Sunrise Yellow metallic paint and black side stripes (bonnet, roof and bonnet stripes are available in the UK at no extra cost and standard in Italy). The interior is distinguished by a limited edition badge and heated quilt leather seats with yellow 86 logo. The retail price of the Limited Edition in Italy is 28,500, which translates to 1,700 more than the standard base model. At the same time in Japan, Toyota released the 14R-60 model limited to 100 units, inspired by the GT86 TRD Griffon Project of 2013. Its engine power remains the same as the standard models despite featuring various drivetrain changes such as twin central exhausts, a TRD mechanical LSD, a short-shifter, and revised gearing for the six-speed manual transmission. Other changes include extra body reinforcement, a variable-height coil-over spring suspension setup and more rigid suspension bushings. A TRD bodykit with carbonfibre components is complemented by 18 inch magnesium wheels and, overall, 14R-60 model results lighter than the base model. Inside there are race-style bucket seats with four-point belts, an Alcantara-clad steering wheel, carbonfibre dashboard trim and yellow piping and highlights. Price-wise, this Japan-only model is listed for ¥6,300,000, which is significantly higher than the ¥2,100,000 for the base RC model or ¥3,100,000 for the top-of-the-range GT Limited. In 2015, the 86xstyle Cb was officially launched after its presentations at the 2013 and 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon.

Available in 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, it has revised interior trimmings including a red Cb logo embroidered leather steering wheel, white (instead of red) backlit instruments and a dark woodgrain-style panel across the dashboard. The most peculiar features are the replacement of the front side gills with a set of LED-illuminated fins and optional contrasting colour for the car’s upper body section. Another option is different alloy wheels than those fitted as standard on the GT86. On sale from April, this Japan-only model is listed for ¥4,180,000, which is a ¥1,280,000 premium over the regular 86 GT on which this variant is based. To celebrate Australia's 86 2016 Pro-Am racing series, the following November Toyota launched 450 'Blackline' units (250 of which with manual transmission). Based on the standard GTS model, this limited edition carries a A$2,000 premium because of its cosmetic upgrade with TRD parts and special livery. In Indonesia, the 86 was launched in 2012. The facelifted version was launched in August 2016.

Peculiarly, in Jamaica and Nicaragua, the 86 is marketed and sold using one of its pre-launch concept car badges, the 'FT-86'. Subaru BRZ [ ]. Subaru BRZ Limited (North America) The BRZ's name comes from three elements: Boxer engine, Rear-wheel drive, and Z standing for the zenith. The Subaru BRZ differs from the 86's design in the front fascia, with a different grille and headlight assembly, as well as a different front fender vent. The BRZ's grill is hexagonal in shape, compared to the Toyota's trapezoid. The BRZ features a wraparound of LED parking lights in the headlight assembly, while daytime running lights are integrated into the bumper. The suspension setup of the Subaru is different from the Toyota. Like the Japanese Toyota 86, Subaru offers an RA base model lacking most interior comforts and utilizing 16 inch steel wheels, with the only difference from the 86 RC being that the BRZ RA's bumpers are painted the same color as the body. Two main trim levels are offered: R trim, known as Premium in North America, and S trim, known as Limited in North America. European and Australian BRZs offer a Toyota stereo unit, while Japanese and North American vehicles use a Subaru unit. Australian BRZs were originally available for sale only online.

It featured stripes across the bonnet, boot and roof; 17-inch STI black alloy wheels; STI boot spoiler plus front, side and rear-side under spoilers; a rear diffuser and a push-button starter switch. It was available in every existing BRZ paint hue. In 2015, Subaru released the limited edition Hyper Blue range across its WRX, WRX STI and BRZ models. In Australia, the BRZ was limited to 50 units with manual transmission only. This limited edition is characterised by the said blue paint and a host of other cosmetic upgrades. Scion FR-S [ ]. Scion FR-S (North America) The Scion FR-S is exclusive to the United States and Canada. Its name is derived from a description of the platform: Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive, Sport. Unlike all other 86 variants, the FR-S originally had no trim levels and are all offered with Scion's BeSpoke stereo system. As part of the 10th anniversary of the Scion marque, 2,500 units of '10 Series' FR-S models were released by Scion for model year 2014. They were painted in Silver Ignition and fitted with extra equipment, including HID headlights, automatic climate control, push button start, illuminated exterior badges plus shifter knob. In January 2014, Scion released 2000 units of the FR-S 'Monogram Series' editions adding extra features at special prices. In this case, this FR-S closely matched the equipment offered on the BRZ (or Toyota's GTS-variant) with the following: heated leather and Alcantara seats; heated side mirrors; high-intensity discharge headlamps; dual-zone climate control; BeSpoke audio and navigation. It cost US$27,400 and US$28,500 respectively, for the manual or automatic transmission model. It was said that this limited edition represented a US$1,900 saving over separately priced options. Presented at the April 2014 and mirroring the European 'Giallo' and 'Limited Edition' yellow-painted special editions, Scion released 1500 units of the 'Release Series 1.0' in similar Yuzu Yellow paint. Its starting price is US$31,000 and it features TRD bodykit and quad-tip exhaust system, along with TRD lowered suspension, TRD steering wheel and shift knob and the highest specification (dual A/C, HID headlamps with LED daytime running lamps, push-button start-stop) plus a numbered commemorative plaque near the gearshift lever. Due to the discontinuation of the Scion marque, in August 2016 the FR-S was re-branded as the Toyota 86 for the 2017 model year. Marketing [ ] As part of the Subaru BRZ market launch, a 2-part movie documenting the vehicle's development was produced. In Canada, a TV commercial titled Scorched was produced by OMD, with creative from DDB. The execution was handled by DDB PR with Juxta Productions working on the interior. The commercial was shot at and McCaul St. In Australia, Subaru BRZ was the first new car ever to be sold on that market exclusively online, with orders opening on 16 July 2012. It was also marketed with free servicing for 3 years or 60,000 km. According to Subaru this sale concept was a success, after the entire 2012 Australian allocation of 201 cars was sold in under 3 hours. The first buyer was able to secure their car in less than 20 minutes from the site going live. This sale process was implemented as a consequence of the demand for the Toyota 86 far outstripping supply (resulting in long delivery times) and a low BRZ supplies for Australia. As of 1 January 2014, the vehicle became available both online and at dealerships, with free servicing no longer included in the purchase. Scion made a similar decision in the United States, creating the 'First 86' program to allow 86 buyers to take delivery of their cars before the general public sales. On 12 January 2012 users had eight hours and six minutes to submit their requests to a program website. Winners were required to take their confirmation number and $500 to a dealer within 96 hours to claim their cars. Scion produced a commercial called Close Call featuring Ken Gushi avoiding a collision with a deer while driving Scion FR-S in Mt. Diablo State Park in Northern California.

This rating applies to vehicles other than the specific model and body style tested. The Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ were introduced in the 2013 model year. Beginning with 2014 models built after December 2013, energy absorbing foam was added to left knee bolster and a structural change adjacent to the left part of the firewall was made to improve occupant protection in small overlap frontal crashes. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.) The tested FR-S was built after these changes had been made on the assembly line. The Scion FR-S was renamed the Toyota 86 beginning with the 2017 model year as Toyota discontinued the Scion nameplate. Structure The driver space was not maintained well, with maximum intrusion of the lower interior of 31 cm at the lower hinge pillar. Upper interior intrusion measured as much as 16-18 cm at the instrument panel and hinge pillar. The door sill was pushed in laterally 20 cm toward the driver. Injury measures Measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to the left lower leg would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low. Restraints and dummy kinematics The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but slid off the left side, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward side structure. The side curtain airbag deployed but does not have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with forward side structure and outside objects, Tested vehicle specifications Tested vehicle 2014 Scion FR-S 2-door Weight 2,803 lbs.

Injury measures Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low. Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head protection Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof and a side airbag that deployed from the seat. Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.

Test ID CES1207 B-pillar to longitudinal centerline of driver's seat (cm) Negative numbers indicate the amount by which the crush stopped short of the seat centerline. In the test, the strength of the roof is determined by pushing a metal plate against one side of it at a slow but constant speed. The force applied relative to the vehicle's weight is known as the strength-to-weight ratio. This graph shows how the ratio varied as the test of this vehicle progressed. The peak strength-to-weight ratio recorded at any time before the roof is crushed 5 inches is the key measurement of roof strength. A good rating requires a strength-to-weight ratio of at least 4. In other words, the roof must withstand a force of at least 4 times the vehicle's weight before the plate crushes the roof by 5 inches. For an acceptable rating, the minimum required strength-to-weight ratio is 3.25. For a marginal rating, it is 2.5. Anything lower than that is poor.
